bremen Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 My guts hurt from the retching it's induced. Quote
Hobbayne Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Anything with12 strings is not a bass Quote
charic Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 ^ Correct! It's an Extended Range Bass Quote
Rick's Fine '52 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1352817960' post='1867786'] It's just a 6 string though really [/quote] So, is that 2 more strings than you need, or 8?? Quote
Happy Jack Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Ah, but in the right hands ... [IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Just%20Stuff/Music%20and%20Musicians/11stringironingboard.jpg[/IMG] Quote

Dandelion Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Do you need planning permission to take it out the house? Quote

yorks5stringer Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Now we have no aircraft carriers I can see a gap in the market that could be filled quite cheaply..... Quote
Truckstop Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I actually think the bass itself looks alright. The case is revolting though. Looks it was designed by Peter Stringfellow for Jimmy Saville. Truckstop Quote
The Dark Lord Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 The mods should really move this post to the "Other instruments" section. It's not a bass. Quote
Clarky Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Weighs 20 pounds too. I would need a surgical harness and a road crew just to get it onto the stage Quote
jaydentaku Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 you could have a strong midget hold it on their shoulders? Quote
The Dark Lord Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1352838820' post='1868268'] Yes it is. [/quote] Nope. It's more like a mandolin or a harp. Quote
tauzero Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 What would your definition of a 12-string guitar be? And what is your definition of a 6-string bass? Quote
jaydentaku Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Perhaps your line is drawn in a different place to his? Quote
karlfer Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 [quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1352835620' post='1868196'] fnar [/quote] By the time I'd tuned that, the bloody gig would be over! Quote

[/quote] I'd tune it before the gig, but it would still take me until the end of the set to figure out which is the E string Quote
